Welcome Winter.
Here we are at the start of Winter, but my trees seem to have skipped a season. As you can see in the photo there are hardly any leaves turning colour or falling to the ground. Yet only a few streets away, these same trees have dropped their leaves and the branches are bare. Very […]
A Sunshine Day.
What a beautiful start to Mother’s Day! The sun has been shining all morning and looks like staying for the whole day. Couldn’t be better. I managed to finally finish a little wall hanging that had been waiting patiently for so long. It only needed the binding done,, but that was delayed because I could […]
A Bag Or More.
Bags seem to be the theme this week. One of our grandies loves construction equipment so of course I could not walk past this fabric when I saw it. I only needed 30 cm to make these two little tote bags for him to carry around his toy trucks and tractors. The other bag […]
Sent And received.
I have received a delightful message from Barb to say she has been able to pick up the parcel waiting for her at the post office. ( I made it a little tricky for her as I wanted it tracked so it didn’t go astray.) Barb was my partner for this first round of the […]
Some Easter Extras.
I had a couple of Easter items that were given as gifts. This is a cute little Peter Rabbit knitted from a design by Little Cotton Rabbits. And this is one of the smaller felt mats I made. I also have a few more photos from the quilt show. These were all part of the […]
Happy, Happy Easter.
The Easter break is a lovely time. A four day holiday. Here we get Good Friday and Easter Monday as public holidays. And for those who work it gets even better because the following Friday is the Anzac Day holiday, so that means it is only a 3 day working week. I think a lot […]

I spent three days working at the Australian Quilt Convention this year in this wonderful World Heritage listed building. It is a great venue for these exhibits. There were many stunning quilts on display and if you want to see the finalists and the winner you can go the the official AQC site. The winning […]
FHFS – It Sure Is!
For the first time ever I have participated in an on-line swap. The group is FHFS – Friends Having Fun Swap. Our first challenge is an item with a Dresden plate. My swap partner , Keryn of Christmas Creations, is very organised and my parcel has arrived!! When I opened it I was speechless – […]
A White Rabbit Day.
White rabbits for the first day of April. And Easter is sneaking up quickly, too. I have completed my felt candle mat in time for the Easter Bunny. Here’s the link again to the book. I also saw a variation of this on Pinterest just using one bunny. So of course I had […]
A Kitchen Window Finish.
The binding is done and the quilt is ready. So good to have another finish! Here it is blowing in the wind. And while the sun was shining, here is the back, too. I am very pleased with the decision to use the strong contrast of black and white with these bright colours. It has […]
